We are already way past the point where we COULD take care of an aging population without population growth. The only reason we can't do so today is corporate greed.
I’m aware of that, the point is that we might not continue to have that ability in the future should birth rates continue to fall.
And yes, greed is the main driver of human suffering today, and will likely be the same in the future.
